Become the strongest adventurer from Douluo Continent

During the period of searching for soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest, Ning Rongrong's personality changes did make other people's evaluation of her improve a lot. However, because of Shen Ruyi, Ning Rongrong still had a way out in her heart, and she didn't have one yet. Forced by loneliness to a point of no return.

Of course, it's hard to make up your mind to lose face and be too proactive to blend in, let alone apologize in public like the original.

In a team, this situation is actually very common. When an individual is in opposition to the collective, a qualified leader should use his or her authority to proactively reach out to help the individual integrate into the collective.

Instead of watching indifferently and allowing this confrontation to intensify, the individual is finally faced with the difficult choice of either leaving or admitting defeat in embarrassment.

What's the benefit to the entire team? It's a pity that neither Dai Mubai nor Tang San, Shrek's qualified leaders, have such an overall view.

Dai Mubai's character is purely about bullying the weak and fearing the strong. He can talk nicely to those who are stronger than him, or whose strength is equal to his own. Those who are weaker than him never have a good look, and even take the initiative to bully them.

With this kind of character, he can only be a soldier who charges into battle, not even a general. Wasn't Zhang Fei's head cut off by resentful soldiers when he was drunk?

Not to mention the emperor.

In a sense, the leaders of the Dai and Zhu families in the Star Luo Empire were not wrong.

As an emperor, if you don't know how to win over people's hearts, if you can't unite all kinds of people to work for you, and if you keep a straight face all day long, you will lose your throne sooner or later.

As for Tang San's words, it was simply because he didn't have enough magnanimity, and even though he looked easy-going, he had a lot of arrogance hidden in his heart.

This kind of personality is only suitable for being the leader of a small group. First of all, this kind of person has the ability and a certain degree of personality charm, and can unite a small group of people to follow him loyally and charge into battle.

But they don’t have enough magnanimity and vision, can’t coordinate the conflicts of all parties well, and it’s difficult to make the team bigger.

In fact, the most suitable people to be leaders should be Oscar and Ning Rongrong. Unfortunately, both of them are auxiliary systems. In this kind of cultivation world where strength is respected, they naturally have weaker voice than the combat system soul masters. If they are not skilled enough, It is difficult to accumulate enough prestige to convince others.

It is precisely because of these reasons that the two sides are like grudges, and no one is willing to take the lead in giving in.

Therefore, Ning Rongrong has not yet been able to successfully integrate into the group.

Although Oscar wanted to speak for Ning Rongrong, being caught between the two parties made him very embarrassed.

Emotionally, he wanted to help Ning Rongrong integrate into the group, but rationally, he could never create a gap with the rest of the team for Ning Rongrong.

After all, on one side is Bai Yueguang, who may not be able to catch up, but on the other side is the brother who is indispensable to his future.

As a food-type soul master, he is destined to be protected by a trustworthy battle soul master.

As for Ning Rongrong, those subtle or obvious rejections made her feel uncomfortable and embarrassed, but they also aroused her rebellious psychology more and more, and she was determined not to compromise with these people.

It had only been three or five days since he entered the Star Forest, but Ning Rongrong felt as if three to five months had passed. He wished he could end this soul ring hunt as soon as possible and go to play with Shen Ruyi and Zhu Zhuqing.

Therefore, when he saw Shen Ruyi again, Ning Rongrong was like a lonely traveler walking in the desert who saw an oasis, his eyes sparkling.

She really wanted to be reserved and like a real lady, and say hello to Shen Ruyi in a dignified and elegant manner, but no matter how much she pretended, it was difficult for the little witch to become a real lady.

So she simply stopped acting and rushed towards Shen Ruyi with cheers. Shen Ruyi held her armpits as if teasing a child and led her around twice, causing her to tremble like a string of silver bells. He let her fall to the ground with laughter.

Ning Rongrong said in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Shen Ruyi pinched her nose and said with a smile, "I didn't want to come, but if you don't come, you will be in trouble. Unparalleled dragons and snakes are not so easy to get rid of."

The corners of Ning Rongrong's mouth turned up slightly, and the little witch's posture appeared uncontrollably, "It's just Contra, does he still dare to hurt me?"

Shen Ruyi said, "Why don't you dare? The Star Dou Forest is so big. As long as we kill everyone present, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect won't even be able to find its enemies."

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but exclaimed, "Why would he do this? Killing me will do him no good at all."

"Well..." Shen Ruyi raised her head and looked at the sky, and said meaningfully, "Who knows?"

"Oh~ you must know, tell me quickly." Ning Rongrong subconsciously used her coquettish skills that she had honed for many years on Shen Ruyi.

Shen Ruyi also deliberately imitated her tone of voice, "If you say you don't know, you don't know..."

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but hit him, "You are so evil. You deliberately aroused my curiosity and didn't tell me."

Shen Ruyi said with a smile, "I never said I was a good person."

On the other side, Xiao Wu's pale complexion aroused Tang San's worry.

"Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xiao Wu smiled reluctantly, "Brother, I'm fine. I just suddenly felt a little dizzy."

Tang San said with concern, "Then you can rest against me for a while."

Xiao Wu didn't refuse, so the two sat down next to a thick tree.

With her head resting on Tang San's shoulder, Xiao Wu supported the ground with one hand, while the other hand tightly grasped Tang San's arm. Her knuckles were turned white from being pressed too hard, and her nails seemed to be squeezed. Enter Tang San's flesh.

Tang San frowned slightly in pain, but did not interrupt Xiao Wu with a sound, but he already felt something was wrong deep down in his heart. Xiao Wu's behavior was not so much dizziness as fear.

And he was so scared that he couldn't control his body from shaking slightly.

Why should she be afraid?

Tang San used the corner of his eye to quietly observe Xiao Wu, and found that her eyes had been lingering between Ning Rongrong and the man. She occasionally looked in other directions, more like concealing the direction of her sight.

Did that man hurt Xiao Wu without him knowing?

Murderous intent suddenly arose in Tang San's heart, but it was fleeting, no, no.

That man didn't even care about Teacher Zhao and Longgong Meng Shu who attacked him. How could he hurt Xiao Wu without his knowledge?

"Xiao Wu, are you afraid..."

Before Tang San could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xiao Wu's pleading eyes, "Brother, stop asking, okay?"

Tang San was silent for a long time, then he could only force a smile and said, "Okay, I won't ask anymore."

Shen Ruyi and Ning Rongrong were still chatting.

Mainly Ning Rongrong was pestering Shen Ruyi and chattering.

But in this current situation, everyone else in Shrek is watching, and Shen Ruyi is not in the habit of being watched.

She wanted to talk another day, but Ning Rongrong's conversation was so high-spirited that Shen Ruyi couldn't interrupt her rudely.

After thinking about it, Shen Ruyi took out a piece of winter melon candy bought in the town from Zhu Zhuqing's storage necklace, "Want some candy?"

Ning Rongrong took the candy handed over by Shen Ruyi and took a small bite.

A faint sweetness spread in her mouth, and Ning Rongrong couldn't help but squint her eyes, "It's so sweet!"

She is not a little girl who has never seen the world. As a princess of the Qibao Glazed Sect, she has also eaten candies that are hundreds and thousands of times more expensive, let alone such simple winter melon candies.

But the focus has never been on the taste of sugar. Ning Rongrong has tasted countless delicacies from the mountains and seas, but she has never tasted the taste of one thing - friendship.

Shen Ruyi said with a smile, "How's it going? Do you like it?"

Ning Rongrong nodded heavily.

"I'll give you some if you like."

Shen Ruyi took out a few more bags of winter melon candies from Zhu Zhuqing's necklace. They were all big paper bags made of oiled paper.

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but asked, "Why did you buy so much candy?"

Shen Ruyi said, "I saw a mother-in-law selling in the town, and she didn't sell much until dark. It was cold at that time, and I wanted to let the old man go back to rest early, so I gave her the full package."

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but stamp her feet and said, "Oh, you have been deceived. How could an old woman make so much sugar? Not to mention how much effort it takes, the cost of making sugar is not something she can afford. , this is the trick of those small businessmen, who want to take advantage of people's sympathy to sell some unsalable goods."

Shen Ruyi said indifferently, "I know."

Ning Rongrong said, "Then you still..."

Shen Ruyi said, "But no matter what, some of the money from selling the candy will always be given to her, right?"

Ning Rongrong said, "That's for sure, otherwise why would she help those merchants sell things."

Shen Ruyi said, "That's enough."

Ning Rongrong was speechless, "That's enough! If you want to help that mother-in-law, you can give her a sum of money directly. Why let those businessmen take advantage of you in vain?"

Shen Ruyi sighed and said, "I have had a few chats with the shopkeepers near my mother-in-law's stall. They all said that my mother-in-law's life was not very good. Her son was sent to fight by the kingdom in the early years and never came back. My daughter-in-law I had no hope, so one day I took the most valuable sewing machine in the house and ran away. My wife passed away due to illness the year before last, and my only house was robbed by my nephew."

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but sympathized, "She is really pitiful."

Shen Ruyi said, "Actually, I'm not the first person who wants to help her. My mother-in-law is very popular in that street. Although the neighbors don't want to mess with her bastard nephew who is already a soul master, they can provide a There are still many people who are willing to live in a new residence, but in the end she chose to live in the small abandoned warehouse owned by the grocery store owner, and insisted on paying rent every month. Do you know why this is?"

Ning Rongrong said, "She doesn't want to be pitied?"

Shen Ruyi said word by word, "Yes, she has lost almost everything and cannot lose her remaining dignity. Directly giving away money is the most vicious trampling on her dignity, because although she is poor, after all Not a beggar.”

Ning Rongrong's heart suddenly tightened.

There was a silence.

This is rare in the conversation between Ning Rongrong and Shen Ruyi.

After a while, Ning Rongrong suddenly said softly, "Dad has never told me about this kind of thing."

Shen Ruyi said, "This is normal. Every father hopes that his daughter can grow up safely in a dreamy fairy tale."

Ning Rongrong said, "But the real world is not a fairy tale. It is not beautiful or dreamy at all. Instead, it is cruel and heavy and suffocating."

Shen Ruyi said, "If you can realize this, it proves that you have grown up."

Ning Rongrong asked, "In this world, do ordinary people like my mother-in-law always have a hard life?"

Shen Ruyi said lightly, "There are as many people who are more unfortunate than her as the sand on the beach. This world is full of flattery towards the strong and indifference to the poor."

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but said, "Is there no way to make their life better?"

"Maybe there is!"

Ning Rongrong was not satisfied with this answer, "What do you mean maybe?"

"It means that I don't know if this method will make the world better or worse."

“But you have to try it to know.”

"Yeah, gotta try."
